Teacher Workshops

At the Center for BioMolecular Modeling (CBM), teachers come first. We work closely with talented science educators from across the US to create innovative instructional materials that make the molecular world real for students. We host a collection of professional development courses that introduce teachers to these materials and provide them with the experience necessary to confidently use them in their classroom.

Summer Workshops

The CBM offers a collection of exciting summer on-campus workshops where teachers interact directly with our full collection of resources.

Modeling the Molecular World

3D Printing in the BioScience Classroom

For the first time ever, advances in 3D Printing technology have made these amazing machines affordable for high school technology/science/engineering departments. With this new summer workshop, the ability to create customized physical models of molecular structures becomes directly available to you. . . and, more importantly, to your students!

Past Workshops Not Being Offered in 2017

Drugs, Drug Targets and You

This course introduces high school teachers to a variety of new instructional tools addressing the molecular basis of drug action and the science of addiction. Materials are focused on the basic molecular mechanisms of neuronal signaling.

Genes, Genomes and Personalized Medicine

This course provides high school teachers with the background and tools to go beyond the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology (DNA → RNA → Protein) in their teaching, to engage their students in meaningful discussions of genomic science and its implications for personalized health care.
